I've seen some people post they like cold compress, this seems strange to me, and you claim that heat would be the last thing you would want.
I've found that taking a hot bath before the pain really kicks in helps, I think by pulling the blood out of your head.
It's odd how different people react.
I thought I was scheduled to donate blood today, and since I was in pain, I was wondering if a reduction in blood would help. Since it's caused by a swelling of the veins.
I'm actually scheduled to donate tomorrow, and while I like to advance science and knowledge, I'm going to do my best not to be suffering then.
